Book Description

June 1, 1998 Arabesque
After falling for a charmer who was only after her money, socialite Dominique Falcon has made a vow to herself that her next lover will be higher up on the social ladder than she is herself. Then she meets rough-around-the-edges Trent Masters, a man from a life of hard knocks. Now, Dominique is about to be a woman burned by breaking the rules--unless the rules don't count for two people in love.


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

With Daniel Falcon and Madelyn Taggart of Heart of the Falcon happily married, Ray turns to Daniel's only sister. Dominique Falcon is beautiful and rich. And restless. At 29, she's fled from one city to another, from one job to another, and, after her marriage to a classically abusive man, she flees from men, too. Settled, for the moment, in Dallas, she embarks on a career in photography and immediately alienates her new neighbor Trent Masters, a successful, handsome and decent man who has, through will and hard work, risen above his unenviable childhood. The question is whether Trent can hold on through Dominique's seemingly inexplicable changes in attitude and Dominique can get over her justifiable fear to accept a decent, supportive man. Sex comes at the end, not as an afterthought, but as the final element in a passionate healing process. It's the kind of warm, humane portrayal we've come to expect of Ray.

ONLY HERS

“Ms. Ray continues to cut a swath across the lustrous fabric of romance history with Only Hers.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Trent Masters is the Man", May 4, 2000
This review is from: Break Every Rule (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
In this beautifully written story Ms Ray continunes the Taggert/Falcon saga. Dominique and Trent are great together. Dominique, who does not want to be in a relationship with another man for a long while, just can not keep her eyes off her new neighbor Trent Master. Trent, who does not want to get involve with another lying women in this life time, can not keep his eyes off of the extremely beautiful Dominique Falcon! Neither one of them can help the attaction they feel for each other but the try and fight it for as long as they can. All there is left to say to Ms Ray is " You Go Girl." Much love to Ms Ray!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely good read, May 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Break Every Rule (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Dominique. Initially, I thought her character would have been more firery, but after getting into the book, and realizing what happened to her to make her so bitter, I think her character was written perfectly. She was still wearing scars from an abusive marriage. While this didn't sizzle quite as much as the other books, the story was just as tender, more so, because Trent and Dominique had to overcome her trauma. Trent was the right temperment for her. I loved how the family was always there with ready support and I really enjoyed catching up on Daniel and Madelyn. Ms Ray just keep them coming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth it., January 14, 2000
This review is from: Break Every Rule (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read most of Ms. Rays books and I enjoyed this one the most. It was a simpler story, but not without drama. I liked Trent ; he seemed to be quite a departure from all of the other heroes in Ms. Rays books. He is the kind of guy you could hang out with and have fun with. The other guys seem to be so riddled with issues and anx that it makes it hard to see beyond all the drama . I hope Ms. Ray is busy creating the next generation of books.
